A Herbalist has thrown a word of caution to holiday makers who mostly spend festivities at beaches and shores of seas and rivers that they may pick diseases and sickness from evil spirits.

Alhaji Akanayo of Black Herbal Clinic, said this on Nsem Pii, Happy FM, on the 1^st day of July, 2013.

He said that seas and rivers habour spirits called ‘zeela’ whose main duty is dissemination of diseases and ailments. “In the olden days, festivals were well crafted by our fathers that it was devoid of fornication, indecent dressing and the like which really ensured sanity that evil spirits had no place in mingling with revelers,” he noted.

The Herbalist observed that ladies who shave their eye brows, add artificial finger nails to their nails, and go naked or half-naked were prone to attracting the ‘gifts’ of the evil spirits.

“Our (some) generation has gone immoral that during festivities like Christmas and Valentine’s Day, condoms get short in the system but it is very hard to hear in the media that Bibles have run out of sale.”

Alhaji Akanayo said that the zeelas implant disease such as alcohol addiction, diabetics, fornication among others through the navels of indecent revelers. These diseases called ‘capad,’ he said, are like a light which after its passage through the navel reflects on the forehead of its recipients.

He added that he who picks the ailment also transmits it to others (not less than hundred people) either through sex or eye contact. “There are ninety-nine curses that one can pick from the seas and rivers depending on the person’s mentality towards his or her going to such places,” he said.

Alhaji Akanayo did not rubbish patronizing our beaches but rather advised that revelers must be decent and modest in appearance when going for a relaxation. “There are also sixty-seven blessings one can pick from the beaches and shores when one focus on the wonders of nature.”
